ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People's Party chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has left on a foreign trip and will not be present in the country when it goes to polls on May 11, according to a media report on Friday. Bilawal, 24, will not address any rallies ahead of the election due to threats to his life, PPP sources were quoted as saying on website of the Dawn newspaper.

Senior PPP leader Taj Haider confirmed that the party had advised Bilawal not to lead the poll campaign due to serious security threats. "We have already lost Benazir Bhutto and will not risk losing Bilawal. The threats to his life are very real," Haider said. He did not say where Bilawal was at the moment.
